Some Pictures from our week: Starting with our Land Trip Camp!
|
We were out on a frozen fresh water lake about an hour and 45 minutes ride from the school. There were about 20 of us on the trip and we ate fresh soup and bannock.Ian and I both got wind and sun burned! Strange how -20 feels warm now!

It was such a busy week! We had our first grad for the year! Shaelyn got teary eyed when we gave her the Macbook air that is donated by Connected North for each of our grads! We received more donations from two small parishes in Nova Scotia. The hand knitted toques that Kevin and Lennox are wearing were knitted by a 94 year old member of one congregation.
The highschool boys set up the tent to make sure we had all of the parts. That should give you a sense of our camp size on our trip. Difficult to tell with all the space!
Denise our grade 4/5 teacher cut my hair for me. She is training students for Skills Canada in her room after school. The last shot shows the grade 6 and 7's digging out the school Qaamutiiks. One is in the right of the picture. The students in the back are almost down to ground level so you can see how deep the snow is right now. They unearthed 4 Qaamuttiks and only one was broken from the weight of the snow. They are a bumpy ride behind a snowmobile, let me tell you!
Looks like a lot of fun. I couldn't take it because I become a wimp when snow shows up. I'm betting there are no vegetarians in the Far North!
